- Both clients have only one screen
- Host left, client right
- Encryption disabled
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Start Deskflow
- Connect client to the right of the screen
- Try maximizing a window by dragging its top bar and move it against the top edge of the screen
- If the mouseup happens when the cursor touches the edge its never registered by the OS

Additional information
I know this is mentioned in the common Wayland problems and I tried the suggestion of the latest comment: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494702#c2
For my own usecase I just removed the initialization of the bottom and top barrier in PortalInputCapture::cb_zones_changed
This only fixes half the problem and also only works for horizontal setups.
Since I dont have that much of an idea what I'm doing I'm not able to solve it myself in a nice way - Sorry I think the best solution would be to put each of the barrier creation calls in a conditional which decides on a per screen basis which edges should be "active".
A temporary shortcut could be to give gui option to limit the edges to left and right on any screen.
Thank you!
